Several performances of differing varieties were held, ranging from a cappella groups and instrumental performances to stylized dance routines. Prizes were awarded to the top three acts participating in the talent show.
“Our goal is to promote our services and show the TSC family that we have talent,” said TSC Sign Language Interpreter Carol Sandoval. “We want to inspire people to continue their education despite any obstacle or challenge.”
After the show, the winners were decided through crowd applause.
Guitarist Angel Ruiz, a visually impaired TSC student, was awarded first place on the applause meter for his rendition of “Cielto Lindo.”
“It feels so great,” said Ruiz. “I’m so happy. It was nice getting to participate and I’m glad they were able to come up with this type of event.”
Thomas Chávez claimed second place for the dance routine “Electro Dance,” and Adán and Isai Mondragón took third for their interpretation of “Te Quiero Tanto.”
TSC’s Got Talent show rounded off a series of events held by Student Life to promote well-being and student involvement during Disability Awareness Month.
